ETERNAL YOU takes an incisive look at the ways artificial intelligence technology is transforming the ways humans deal with death. A new industry offers the tempting opportunity to allegedly communicate with deceased loved ones by way of an avatar that appears to channel their voices, current thoughts, emotions and memories. In uncanny and increasingly unsettling encounters, including with the mom who would go to any lengths to again hug her dead child, the filmmakers survey the startling and sometimes shocking experiences of users. Interviews with multiple developers of the technology skirt around the ethical implications while eagerly plunging into the future. In English and Korean with English subtitles.
“This thought-provoking and bang-up-to-the-minute documentary explores a morally questionable use of AI: the digital afterlife business… It’s the kind of technology that exists on the knife-edge between thrilling innovation and cynical recklessness.”–Wendy Ide, Guardian
“Presents a nuanced portrait of how generative A.I. technology is being employed and how it’s already begun to impact the mental health of people who’ve used it, for better and worse.”–Derek Smith, Slant Magazine
